  Would you rather just let the kid be at the whim of the intruder? How much sympathy should a kid be expected to give to someone who broke into his home?

  This could have easily turned into a barricaded suspect with a hostage.

    Mocking someone who is bleeding out in front of you is literal psychopath behavior.

      Breaking into a house and threatening a child is pyschopath behavior.

      The kid is 11, he is going to need a long time to process what has happen. There was adrenaline pumping, genuine risk to his life and a culture of self defense. Did you expect him to suddenly grab a medkit and approach someone larger and older than him who may not be fully incapacitated and already threatened him?

        I don’t expect a kid to do much of anything after shooting a person, intruder or not, not mock them for being in pain of a literal bullet wound.

        Granted if the parents taught him how to use a firearm they should also have taught him how to use a medical pack because accidents can and do happen with firearms and he should be able to patch up himself or someone else if an accident does happen.

      As the intruder walked down the stairs, “he told me he was going to kill me, f-you and all that,” Chris said.

      The final shot hit the man in the leg as he was hopping the fence, the boy said.

      The man was taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

      Context is everything and you don’t have any. I’d be mocking the meth head who tried to kill 11 year old me as well. This kid is a hero.

        Wait the kid shot the man as he was trying to hop a fence and run away? Again, this is the behavior of actual psychopaths.

        Context doesn’t help - laughing at someone you shot is extremely disturbing behavior. 10x so for a child.

        The correct response is fear/adrenaline/panic or something to that effect.

      He survived. He was shot in the leg and got treatment in the hospital. The child did not stand over him while he was bleeding out. That part was a joke made by someone responding to the article.

    There’s a huge difference between defending yourself and mocking a person you just hurt.

      The kid is 11, they probably don’t think much about the bigger picture in situations like this and hes probably just proud he’s alive and wanted to be funny cause hes on camera. I’d probably rub the bad idea in their face a bit to if someone broke into my home and threatened my family.

      It isn’t like this kid just assaulted a random guy, there was a genuine threat here.

        It isn’t like this kid just assaulted a random guy, there was a genuine threat here.

        And that threat was running away when the child shot him in the back.

      do you think getting insulted really hurt the intruder more than the bullet?

    A bloody body should trigger horror and disgust.

    source

    • FireRetardant@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

      Your brain is pretty good at ignoring those kinds of reactions when adrenaline is pumping and you are worried about your own safety. Same reason people who are typically nonviolent can throw a good punch if assaulted. We are still animals and we have fight or flight instincts that trigger fast.

  Psychopathy as a diagnoses is bullshit. People disassociate in different ways during traumatic events and as a coping mechanism for heightened stress all the time, and this reads exactly like that.

  This does clearly show the kid is well-conditioned for being a cop, though. He seems like he’d be great at ‘just following orders’. at the same time, he’d probably be good as a paramedic or a fireman too, since all those occupations require you to emotionally disassociate to get your job done effectively.

      If only the kid was simultaneously defunded and had more training. Then they could have descalated everything.
